Timeline: If You Never Cut Your Nails

Humans evolved to have nails because it made it easier to pick things up. We could pick bugs off our food or squeeze objects more tightly. Fingernails grow at a veritable snail's pace, creeping up just 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) every three months. But what if you stopped cutting all of your nails forever? What would happen then? How could this affect the rest of your body? And how long would they get? We can get to know the answer to these questions in this timeline video.
